I think in a society where we're trained to prize answers, questions are the undervalued thing,

0:08.1

that if you learn how to ask great questions, especially in this age of AI, to bring it full circle, it's the Thig Media podcast. I'm here with Chris Doe.

0:32.2

2.3 million subscribers, over 250 million views on your YouTube channel, The Future. You are the CEO, director,

0:39.8

Emmy Award winning designer and chief strategist, founder of the future, mission of teaching

0:46.7

one billion people how to make a living doing what they love. So you're definitely an expert and a

0:52.8

futurist. And so we're going to be talking about AI. We're going to be

0:56.3

talking about the creator economy, tips for YouTube creators as a content creator yourself, brand,

1:01.9

and some tactical things that people can apply to build their brands, make more money,

1:06.7

build their personal brands. But let's start with AI. So AI is disrupting a lot. You know that,

1:12.6

but there's a few things I looked up. So a Goldman Sachs report found that 300 million jobs

1:18.3

globally could be disrupted by AI technology. Banks are fighting over AI talent and looking to

1:26.0

hire AI experts. And there was one CEO who actually shared on

1:30.7

Twitter that he replaced 90% of his support staff with an AI chat bot saying that copy and

1:39.2

pace jobs are gone. And then chat, GPT, check out this stat. Last year recorded 39% of the U.S.

1:46.3

workforce did freelance work. You're an expert in that per upwork. But that chat GPT is

1:52.5

already stealing work from freelancers, especially those that are writing. So AI, good, bad and ugly. What do do you think? I'm a futureist, so I'm going to say good because it's hard to stop the flow of the ocean. You have to learn how to surf. And if we say, well, there's a time in which women or certain types of people didn't have rights. You know, we're moving in that direction. We have to just embrace it. We don't care if you like the past the way it is. Things are changing, and we need to learn to adapt because otherwise we're choosing to be irrelevant and it's a bad choice to make. What do you think the timeline of AI disruption? Do you think it's going to go faster or slower than people are estimating? Well, the estimates are wild, so I don't know which estimates, but I think it's happening and it's happening very, very fast. Let's just take a look at Mid Journey in terms of the different models and the quality in which it's been able to achieve in the time in which it's been able to achieve. So in the very beginning, the images were a little wanky, extra fingers and weird things. And it was just wildly unpredictable.

2:52.4

Very artistic.

2:53.6

The robot can dream really well, but not exactly something that you can reliably get a result from.

2:59.3

Then we start moving into more natural language descriptions, and the fingers start getting

3:02.6

resolved and type and things start getting clearer and more focus.

3:05.6

And the amount that you can specify becomes even

3:07.7

greater. We're not even talking to years' time in which there are three or four releases of the robot.
